No problems yvonneb, I hope it helps, it certainly seems like there are a few resourceful people amongst your group. I actually stumbled across the forum because I am having problems printing CD's/DVD's with the IP 4000, but I guess I am in the wrong place to complain since at least the 'australian arm of the canon marketing department' hasn't denied us the functionality in the first place.

I have been following this thread for a few weeks now. I was just wondering if anyone has found out anything new about cd/dvd printing in the US? I love my ip5000, it prints lab quality photos as far as I am concerned. I researched many printers using sources like Tom's Hardware and Trusted Reviews, CNET, etc. I took it for granted that all of the ip5000 printers could print to cd/dvd's. To my shock when I got it out of the box, I couldn't find anything in the manual or in the printer properties that lead me to believe you could print to cd/dvd's. I must not have researched it as much as I thought. I would still like to be able to print to cd's and dvd's. Looks like it may not happen with this printer. It still burn's my that I can flip down a door that is intended to insert a tray to print on cd's and I cannot even use it. To me it is kinda like plasticfruit and rollson the table when your hungry and there is nothing in the fridge.:angry:

Yea, who isn't. OK, there is Epson. :?: :blah:

But hang On folks! :cart:
I've just confirmed that Expansys USA has shipped my UK version iP3000, and UPS will be delivering it by/on Friday!:G

Once it's here the work on US CD Tray printing conversion can really begin. :O

My first order of business will be to remove the UK power supply and replace it with a US version.

I'll be taking photos as I go. :|
(Does anybody know what resolution works best for posting? I have an Olympus RS-100 and a Pentax Optio S40)

Next we check that it works properly.

Then I've got to get my hands on a US iP3000.
I feel the onlyway to crack this is to work with both a US and UK side by side.
Find out what one does that the other doesn't!
